Satsang in San Diego

Our two swamis were deluged with affection and care in Southern California. After a visit to the home of Ravi & Sheela Visswanathan the monks sent to the home of Dasan and Shakti Mahadevan, their first visit there. Some thirty devotees joined for the evening. Dasan did a Ganesha puja with great affection and then another for the sandals of Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami, after which all chanted Bodhinatha's 108 names in English and Sanskrit.

All adjourned to a lovely space with 12-foot high ceilings and as they gathered Mayuresh, just 12, played a tabla solo with great concentration, his graceful fingers revealing the drum's potential.

Paramacharya then told some Gurudeva stories and answered questions until it was time for the special dinner that all had prepared.

A joyous evening for all...

Ravi and Sheela say good-bye to Paramacharya

Chudika offered the swamis an Om gift, made from kauai beans

Chudaka and Monty, policeman of the year in Southern California for his heroism in saving a disabled woman from a fire.

Shakti was our thoughtful and joyous hostess

Those present find a quiet place within

Myuresh doing his magic

All present listen intently

Senthilnathaswami and Bodhi lead the chant.
